Have another word with the pigs tomorrow, phil : you might push us back over £14 !!!

[phil140158] 12/11/2009 16:23

Typical isn't it! You go down the farm to look after your animals. You get back in and all hell has broken loose, GOG up 60p. First dawntrader is talking about an entry point at 1270 and now Enami has a target of 1721 and hoping for £20! I'm confused!!!!!

[trt] 12/11/2009 13:18

Thats why I have been buying over the last few days as its impossible to call the bottom every time - so thats a 4.2% profit in just one day -- not that I am selling any because they are long term holds because of the fantastic yield.

[enami] 12/11/2009 13:07

Looking at the chart and seeing the peak at 2038 last year I am hoping that next year it may get to the same kind of level.

Initial target 1721.

[phil140158] 12/11/2009 12:48

Heh trt, dawntrader and Enami have certainly brought something new to the GOG thread. We never used to get all this technical stuff before! Thanks dawntrader, I'm going watch it a bit longer.

[enami] 12/11/2009 11:34

I agree, passed my buy trigger at 1320 so have added amount equivalent to my dividend due next week.

[dawntrader] 12/11/2009 10:54

yes.. hourly indicators show a bounce of the lower bollinger band... there... daily we are seeing rise above the lower bollinger.... based on yesterdays close we are above support now.

[dawntrader] 12/11/2009 10:47

will have a look

[phil140158] 12/11/2009 10:02

dawntrader, are we seeing support at 1300 or is it too early to call yet?

[keran] 11/11/2009 22:15

Not posted for a while but yes i would prefer the share price to be at £15 rather than £13 but history always shows for those who take advantage of any weakness and buy are handsomely rewarded if they are patient.

[trt] 11/11/2009 17:20

The yield is fantastic lets not forget. For long term investors this is key.

[dawntrader] 11/11/2009 17:03

hmmm topping up ... on a downtrend... if you topped up in OCT 2008 at between 14.91 and 15.80 then its still going down .. and down .. you really are just averaging down .......... or did you get more in March 09 .. to drop the average price... ?

[trt] 11/11/2009 15:39

Entry point is immaterial for a long term investor. However happy to top up at these levels - just sold some SAinsburys after a strong run to invest in GOG

[dawntrader] 11/11/2009 14:59

Dont know about an opportunity, 20 day ma has crossed below 50 day ma..... bad sign ... could fall a lot more ... just watching now for any stabilization .. or furhter fall to 12.70 level ...

[enami] 11/11/2009 14:23

Massive rights issue at National Express today, 7 for 3 at 105 pence (which represents a 68.9 per cent. discount).

Not helping sentiment in the sector I guess. Happy to buy more here if it bounces off 1300ish. Dividend pay day next Friday 20 Nov, may as well shove the cash back in here.

[trt] 11/11/2009 12:14

I have to say price at current levels presents wonderful opportunity

[dawntrader] 11/11/2009 08:58

Still no support .... and falling ... looking at about 12.71 before I look again...

[enami] 10/11/2009 17:03

SP has fallen to the same level as it opened on the day of the results.
There is still the unfilled gap from 1302 on that day as the next target.
Disappointing if it falls that far.

EDIT - 100MA added tochart.

[trt] 10/11/2009 16:30

To my mind each investor has they own strategy and so each has their own entry point when buying shares.Its very difficult to know when the up turn will come so I purchase as and when I have the funds available on any share price weakness.This strategy has served me well over the years I have to say.

[dawntrader] 10/11/2009 15:46

I am looking for a long myself ... but with a drop of about 100 pence... since 13th October ish.... looking for a support turn line before I do that....

[dawntrader] 10/11/2009 15:45

trt I was not saying go short.. all I was saying is buy/topping up now is not a good idea.. looks like in some kind of pull back for now.....

[phil140158] 10/11/2009 12:56

I agree with dawntrader and trt! Waiting 'til we see some support before going long, but definitely not going short. The whole bus/train transport industry will (IMHO) stay volatile 'til the NEX situation is sorted out. There could well be opportunities for GOG and a positive rumour or two wouldn't go amiss!

[trt] 10/11/2009 12:30

I disagree because it is always difficult to time it right and being greedy rarely pays off.
I wouldn't short this stock as it can turn very quickly indeed.

[dawntrader] 10/11/2009 11:20

If your topping up with these .. you are throwing money away... better to let it keep falling for further and find some support... as it has lost about 30 p at least in the last couple of days.

[phil140158] 09/11/2009 19:32

I think Bluebelle predicted this would happen following the ExDiv date. Without the prospect of the divi, it is inevitable that GOG would drift down. The market today was crazy, with oil and miners in full flight, so GOG was bound to slip. I think trt is right, the next bit of bad news will send oily miners crashing by 5% and GOG will do better. I'm looking to get back in on the SB account, but GOG isn't on my shorting list!
